“President Porter is at his best in some of these papers. An incisive wit runs through them, and all are marked by that power of clear definition and of vigorous statement coupled with fairness and frankness in treating the arguments of opponents so apparent in all his writings.”—_Zion’s Herald._ LOGIC AND LIFE. With other Sermons. By Rev. H. S. HOLLAND, M.A., Senior Student of Christ Church, Oxford. With an Introductory Notice by PRESIDENT NOAH PORTER. 1 vol. 8vo, $1.50. “They are in the truest sense scholarly ... yet there is about them, as Dr. Porter expresses it, very little of the stiffness, the formality or the remoteness from human sympathies and associations which often, not to say usually, characterize ‘University Sermons.’ Ministers will find them a rare and valuable addition to the library.”—_The Examiner._ TURKISH LIFE IN WAR TIME. By HENRY O. DWIGHT. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50. “This book is the most vivid and faithful sketch of Turkish character that we have ever seen.... It is mainly a series of interesting notes and sketches, giving those little details of life and thought from day to day, in a time of great excitement, which are so essential in order to gain an accurate knowledge of any people.”—_The Nation._ [Illustration: stars] _These books are for sale by all Booksellers, or will be sent, post-paid, on receipt of the price, by_ CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS, 743 and 745 Broadway, New York. * * * * * ATKIN & PROUT, Printers, 12 Barclay St., New York. Transcriber’s Notes Obvious printer’s punctuation errors and omissions silently corrected. Inconsistent hyphenation retained due to the multiplicity of authors. Arithmetic errors in the receipts have been retained as printed. Images have been moved outside of paragraphs, resulting in page numbers that are slightly off. Missing “t” added in “therefore” on page 106 (therefore an immediately pressing necessity). Removed extra “s” introduced in line-break hyphenation on page 107 (no doubt that their presence). Changed “Fragance” to “Fragrance” on page 125 (Beauty and Fragrance). Inserted missing “n” in “governing” on inside back cover (natural laws governing its action). Duplicate “them” removed from the inside back cover (restoring them to a healthier action). End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The American Missionary -- Volume 37, No. 4, April, 1883, by Various
